| Implementation is mostly going well (many already implemented); concerns: * Dx team improvements (new notifications, IM indicator) expecting a code drop on Monday that includes some messaging indicator support and updated look and feel and animations for notifications. Will push for that on the sprint, aim to land first versions in Ubuntu next week * jaunty-language-selector-improvements: not started yet, considerable chance to not make it for Jaunty FF; (low-priority spec) * xorg-options-editor: community effort, might nto make it for FF; low-priority spec, and missing would not really harm |
* Blueprint drafting and approval fully complete last Monday; work items for everyone individually as well as the total number of work items are below or at the computed/agreed limit. * Unity (and related projects) tarmac/branch autolanding is now in effect. First actual tests are in place, although not a lot yet, and the Unity ones are currently failing. * Unity manual test plan started, making good progress. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityTests) * Landed Apport client-side crash signature/duplicate detection. * It has been decided to go with Rhythmbox as default music player now, and reevaluate the state of Banshee-GTK3 between alpha-3 and beta-1. Seed changes were applied and uploaded. * Ported session-installer to GTK 3 and dropped gnome-codec-install, getting rid of some old libraries. * Landed new Zeitgeist, now written in Vala instead of Python. Brings some nice speedups. |

| == Planned Intrusive changes == * GNOME 2.59.90 is due next week; if we don't have time to push it in, due to sprint and alpha-4 freeze, we'll skip that and upload the next microversion the week after * Martin plans to update our patches for langpack support for .desktop files to the improved patches in OpenSUSE; making them fully "active" will require rebuilds of all packages, thus doing that right before a GNOME point release is a great time; it does not cause major problems if the rebuilds don't happen quickly, though. |

This page keeps track of the current release status of the Desktop Team.
What was done engineering wise?
- Blueprint drafting and approval fully complete last Monday; work items for everyone individually as well as the total number of work items are below or at the computed/agreed limit.
- Unity (and related projects) tarmac/branch autolanding is now in effect. First actual tests are in place, although not a lot yet, and the Unity ones are currently failing.
Unity manual test plan started, making good progress. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityTests)
- Landed Apport client-side crash signature/duplicate detection.
- It has been decided to go with Rhythmbox as default music player now, and reevaluate the state of Banshee-GTK3 between alpha-3 and beta-1. Seed changes were applied and uploaded.
- Ported session-installer to GTK 3 and dropped gnome-codec-install, getting rid of some old libraries.
- Landed new Zeitgeist, now written in Vala instead of Python. Brings some nice speedups.
What's about to land that might impact the other teams?
- For alpha-1 we'll switch to Rhythmbox and drop Tomboy/gbrainy from the CDs.
Dependencies on other teams, blocking items
- Nothing right now.

Release targetted bugs being worked on/monitored
under investigation:
851612 [Logging out from a FUS session does not reliably return to VT7]: Race condition, no progress at figuring out the cause yet
triaged/in progress:
857153 [Needs to get accessibility settings from GSettings]: Problem is clear, but has a workaround
805136 [accounts window doesn't fit on screen and no scrollbar to show hidden fields]: No progress this week.
810721 [at-spi-registryd crashed with SIGSEGV in gconf_client_get_default()]: Got fixed in at-spi2 (which is what we use now mostly); fix might be applicable to at-spi as well.
828623 [gnome control centre does not allow you to disable the laptop screen while leaving an external DisplayPort connected screen working]: Only affects some systems, but great progress on debugging the cause this week.
790240 [at-spi needs demotion for precise]: Some packages demoted, one left to fix.
786952 [Wacom Bamboo Pen - Pressure too sensitive]: Kernel side should be fixed now in precise, leaving userspace driver fix.
712677 [Does not report crashes during "Install Ubuntu" installs]: No progress this week.
Patch available, needs testing/uploading:

Done:
- Blueprint drafting and approval almost complete (our target was today); work items are almost complete, and everyone individually as well as the total number of work items are below or at the computed/agreed limit.
- Fixed a couple of bugs in autopkgtest, it's now possible to use for our purposes. Converted the first two packages to DEP-8/autopkgtest for continuous QA integration: upower, apport; more to come. Discussed with Jean-Baptiste how to run these on data center QA machines.

- Cleanup of GNOME packages, we were able to coordinate with Debian, do a few updates there, and sync a lot.
- Landed client-side crash signature/duplicate detection in Apport trunk, and discussed integration into Cassandra server with Evan.
About to land:
- By next Monday we decide about Banshee vs. Rhythmbox. That particularly affects U1. But porting U1 to GTK3 is already unblocked, as we won't go with a GTK2 Banshee in precise.
Blockers:
- Waiting for IS to put Unity tarmac setup into production.
